Dr Helen Donovan

South Ward Councillor

I am a practising behaviour change psychologist and am keen to see Council consider impacts on mental health and wellbeing in the community at every level of policy, including infrastructure design, green spaces, waste management and housing.

I advocate for a sustainably responsible Council and, in particular, I seek to accelerate local action on sustainability, support for market stalls moving towards zero packagings, fossil fuel divestment, greening, organic waste collection and leadership in energy policy and waste management.

I support the city’s commitment to the Adelaide Zero project to end Homelessness and would like to see Council working towards increasing its affordable housing stock more generally.
